A flywheel rotating about is fixed central axis, experiences an angular retardation, proportional to its
angular velocity. It is observed that it performs n rotations before coming to rest. The number of
rotations executed, when its angular velocity falls to half the initial value is:
1) n/2
2) 2n/3
3) n/3
4) n/4
A fly wheel starts rotating about a fixed axis, under influence of a constant power delivered from a
motor. The angular velocity depends on the number of rotations n performed as:
1) n
2) n1/2
3) n1/3
4) n 2/3
A flywheel starts rotating about a smooth central fixed axis, with an angular acceleration
proportional to the angular displacement. The instantaneous power P delivered to the flywheel
depends on the number of rotations n performed as:
1) P n
2) P n 2
3) P n1/2
4) P n3
A flywheel is in rotation about a fixed axis. In the first half of the rotation its angular velocity
changed uniformly from 0 to 80 rad S 1 . In the remaining half of the rotation it rotated with 80 rad
S 1 in the first half of the time and with 40 rad S 1 in the next half of the time. In entire rotation its
average angular velocity in rad S 1 is

A spot light S rotates in a horizontal plane with a constant angular velocity of 0.1 rad S 1 . The spot

statement(s) are true?
1) You can find two points in the body in a plane perpendicular to the axis rotation having same
velocity.
2) You can find two points in the body in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation having same
acceleration.

bearings. A light cord is wrapped around the rim of the disc and mass of 1kg is tied to the free end. If
it is released from rest,

2) in first 4 seconds the angular displacement of the disc is 40 rad.
3) the work done by the torque on the disc in first 4 sec. is 200J
4) the increase in the kinetic energy of the disc in the first 4 sec. is 200J
